India’s Realistic Mannequins Are Revolutionizing Retail
Retailers worldwide use mannequins to showcase their products, but there’s often a stark mismatch between these idealized forms and actual customers. In several Indian cities, a refreshing change is underway. Retail shops are adopting mannequins that resemble average body types, a far cry from the unrealistic models in many stores.
These mannequins exhibit curves, contours, and even ‘dad-bods,’ providing a more accurate representation of how clothing will fit the average person. This shift toward inclusivity promotes body positivity and enhances the shopping experience by helping customers visualize how garments will really look on them.
